Bird of Paradise

The flowers on the Bird of Paradise plant are so beautiful but I’ve always found it difficult to photograph them. I think this one turned out exceptionally well.



Here’s the whole plant.

    It is refreshing to see such colorful flowers in the heart of the central business district.

    Great capture, Sharon. These are so beautiful and will soon be gone for the summer.

    The colours are wonderful!

    I see that you, too, have lost your list of followers with no photos. Blogspot is working on it, I hope.
